Yes, that does sound hopeful. But I am skeptical that the tool will be used.

Well, it's probably too late for the 2008 economic crisis.

But for the serious fight that is coming on Medicare cost reductions,
it might carry some weight (after the fact), or even as a
preventative measure that would get the attention of CFO's, etc.

I'm pessimistic. For show they might throw a token or two who are ready to retire and have the golden parachute in their pocket, under the bus. But I'd be surprised at even that because it would affect the company's stock, and even if that was temporary stockholders would be ragging on their congress critters.

Yup ... 7 YEARS later they are going to effectively blackball their financial friends and biggest political supporters ... Are you high?
